This is going to be a lot about coaching and goaltending I think.

If Marner has some space and can win his matchups, if Nylander can drive his own line and if Domi can get into marchands feelings the bruins only hope is their goaltending.

Leafs need to worry about 1 line, bruins should have all they can handle trying to stop all 4 of ours.

And the top line the bruins have …. can’t compete with ours. Their depth is worse than ours.

This is Keefe’s come to Jesus moment, the players will cook, Keefe needs to put them in the best position to win.

I think the 2011-2024 Boston dies in this series

The word on the streets is Bergeron, Krejci, Rask and Chara will call it quits if Boston loses..

2011-2023 Boston died last year. It should be clear that this is the new iteration.


Their forward depth can't compete with ours, but their 3rd pair D eats our 1st pair D lunch, something we seem to ignore. Plus they have goalies ( two of them).


It will be fun, but not sure why this is the year Boston should die. They went all in last year, lost two core players and replaced them with no one ( just paying cap hits for DK and Bergy).

Bruins won't be easier to play against next year. This is the Bruins bottoming ...

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Leafs fans? We just can't stop.

Sorry for being pessimistic, because I absolutely want the Leafs to crush it.

But for real at this point I am completely "Hope for the best, expect the worst"

Does it soften the blow? Not sure. Just not sure anymore.

Surprise me. Blow my f***in' mind. etc.
It's a pick em series, maybe we win, maybe we won't, but we didn't get here by accident and I'm excited we have an opportunity. I'm not even talking about guys like yourself who have trepidation , i share that, it's the "we're going to loss for sure" types, what a world. Don't watch then.

That's just guys like me that have been hurt too many times by this team and this matchup protecting ourselves.

Of course I want to f***ing win. I just can't see it.

But I want to see it.

LFG
 
A drink I was introduced to in Boston when I first went years ago called the Bear Claw.

It's a relay drink.
Involves 3 drinks you do one after another.

1st - Dr.Pepper (half pint of beer drop a shot of amaretto- chug)
2nd Irish car bomb- chug (for those that don't know pint of Guinness drop a shot of half Bailey's half Jameson)
3rd Jager bomb. Everyone knows this one.

I'm doing this one win or lose !
Man with all that sugar your head will feel not so good tomorrow, the boilermaker with amaretto instead of whiskey sounds something my wife would like given her sweet tooth, personally I stick to straight whiskey, better for the glucose levels……..

I think this is such an overblown point. The Leafs goaltending will be fine against Boston. Against a higher scoring team like the Rangers, or a killer special teams (i.e., powerplay) like Carolina, it may be a different story, but Boston will make the Leafs goalies look better than they are.
Depends which Sammy shows up, and whether Woll continues to let in first shots. If they both play up to their potential and the D actually defends the Leafs will have a chance………
